“In the work of Christ we are passive; in the work of the Holy Spirit we are made active.”  Claude Duval Cole  (1885-1968)

“It is a most hazardous thing to tamper with the gospel of Christ.”  (John Brown  1784-1858)

“The law is the key which locks sinners up to condemnation:  the gospel is the key which opens the door to their freedom.”  (Author unknown)

“He has only to will the most important changes, and they are instantly accomplished.  ‘He speaks, and it is done; he commands, and it stands fast.’  No causes intervene between the volition and the change which ensues, for the will of the Deity is itself the effect.”  James Madison Pendleton  (1811-1891)

“When he looks up to God, and considers the truth of his promises, and the sufficiency of his grace and protection, and the almighty strength of his Redeemer, these things fill his soul with confidence and assurance; but when he turns his eye downward again upon himself, and finds so much remaining corruption within, and so many temptations, and dangers, and adversaries without, this forces him not only to fear, but to despair of himself; and it should do so, that his trust in God may be the purer and more entire.”  Robert Leighton  (1611-1684)

“Fear not.”  “How much of our misery arises from fear.”  William Garden Blaikie  (1820-1899)

The bodily torture even of crucifixion, could not extort from the holy Jesus the smallest sigh or complaint; but the sense of his Father’s wrath in his soul, wrung from him that doleful outcry; “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me!”  John Colquhoun  (1748-1827)

“Trust not in oppression; as you may not trust any other men, so neither must you trust to yourselves, nor to your own wit, or industry, or courage, by which you may oppress others, and so think to secure and enrich yourselves.”  (Matthew Poole  1624-1679)

“Our inheritance, then (as Paul saith in another place), is inestimable.  If a man could comprehend the great excellency of this matter, that he is the son and heir of God, and with a constant faith believe the same, this man would esteem all the power and riches of all the kingdoms of the world, but as dung, in comparison of his eternal inheritance.”  (Martin Luther 1843-1546)

Unless gratitude be expressed for mercies already received and thanks be given for granting us the continued favor of petitioning our Father, how can we expect to obtain His ear and receive answers of peace!  (A.W. Pink; 1886-1952)
